1290 jw congregations have been deleted since 4th dec 2022. i have a full map so you can explore active/deleted congs, and also orphaned halls https://analytics.jws-library.one/viewmap.html.

many of the deletions in the usa appear to be foreign language groups.

The US congregations sold,,,of course they sell those. They are ''worth" the most.

My old congregation is being shuttered

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

i just found out from my jehovah's witness cousin that my old congregation is being shuttered due to lack of elders, less than 20 members attending, and that the congregation cannot meet their monthly expenses.. here is a congregation that was started in 1975 with less than 15 members.

it grew to 185 members in the 1990's.

the congregation grew so large that the elders decided to split the congregation in two.

The Borg couldn't really give 2 $hits about loss of friends from being uprooted and being moved around.

How oblivious are your typical jdub ? Facepalm alert

by nowwhat? in

It can be particularly devastating to "wake - up"",, so to speak.

Here's where the "sunk cost"" fallacy kicks-in. Especially after not having children,,forgoing marriages/relationships,,,education or loss of friends or family from a deadly blood policy.

That's when waking-up can be dangerous.

People have to want to ""wake"" on their own. After sacrificing life/education for a "false prophet"

Watchtower (Study) August 2023 gaslighting and deflecting again.

by was a new boy in

'they turn the story around to make it seem like you are at fault, deflecting attention and blame away from them to make you feel guilty.

this type of emotional manipulation is called gaslighting.. .

deflection is manipulation, and if it's coupled with other toxic relationship behaviors, it may be necessary to remove yourself from the situation.'.

The internet is the great 'equalizer'

Foolednomore,,,they were saying this on the six screens recently.

Information is bubbling up,,like bubbles in quicksand or something, Information is power, ,knowledge.

Like I was saying on another thread. The Borg is pooched.

The last 20 years has been a nightmare for the Borg. The information is out, there is nothing the Borg can do. They are screwed.

The typical JW is so oblivious to reality they're in a 'stupor'.

They were saying on the six screens, a few weeks ago. It can be 'dangerous' in way to wake-up someone who is in trance or sleepwalking, It can be more harm than good. They can go off the deep-end.

No. People who are 'destined' to wake-up,, wake-up. 'Waking-up' is what people have to do on their own. You can't convince them yourself. All one can do is present the facts plain and simple, let them see it. If they wake-up...it's usually them doing it themselves.. All someone can do is show them. It's them actually snapping-out of it so to speak.

My last letter to the Elders

by gavindlt in

dear leamington spa and warwick elders.

i wanted to thank you for your letter that has set me free.

you have finally confirmed to me how ignorant you are as an elder body.. you should all be ashamed of yourselves as elders.. .

The WT borganization has been reinventing itself along. That's all.

Is 1914 still a major belief in JW land ? Or has it been abandoned ?

by smiddy3 in

i just wonder about this topic as it is now 109 years since that date and what was expected to take place has never happened ..

''I don't see in scripture that people must find an organization to have God's approval or to be justified

The requirements for forgiveness and imputation of righteousness are clear and they are repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

There is nothing like; you must trust the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses to have God's approval.''

That's cuz there is no such scripture that directs people to some Borganization or 'slave class" for salvation.

There is nothing like putting yourself in the place of God, going beyond the things written and misquoting scriptures,
